Abstract

In this paper, floating memcapacitor and meminductor emulators have been proposed using voltage differencing current conveyors, memristor and grounded capacitor. Meminductor emulator has been easily obtained from memcapacitor emulator and vice versa by interchanging the positions of memristor and capacitor. The proposed designs of memcapacitor and meminductor emulators are very simple as compared to most of the designs available in the literature. Proposed emulators perform satisfactorily for a wide range of frequency and also satisfy the non-volatility test. The performance of proposed memcapacitor and meminductor emulators has been verified by embedding the memristor emulator circuit and the SPICE model of memristor. The performance of proposed emulators is found to be satisfactory in both the cases. The proposed designs have been simulated by LTspice tool using 0.18 µm CMOS technology parameters. Adaptive learning circuits have also been designed using proposed memcapacitor and meminductor emulators that fully verify the workability of the design.
